Explore: Venice (Florida)

General Info
Venice sits at a break in the long chain of barrier islands which run as far north as Tarpon Springs and as far south as Fort Myers. There is no outer protective island at Venice so the inlet approach is straightforward and the gulf is not far from any marina.
The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) cuts inland and separates Venice from the rest of mainland Florida. The area is primarily residential but a number of marinas and peaceful anchorages can be found.
Position:  27° 06.73’N, 82° 28.21’W (entrance)
Clearance
This is NOT a recognized Port of Entry by the US Customs and Border Protection.
See USA Formalities for full details on clearing into and out of the USA.
If you are arriving from abroad, customs clearance and immigration procedures must be conducted elsewhere before proceeding to this port.
Docking
Dockage in Venice is somewhat limited, but facilities are good. Anchorages and moorings are often limited by the narrowness of the channel. Do not anchor in the channel. It is possible to anchor outside Roberts Bay in an open area there.
